Description:

You can compact MDB database directly from the ASP (VBS) by DAO or JRO :

1. DAO engine (DAO 3.5 must be installed)

Set Engine = CreateObject("DAO.DBEngine.35")
Engine.CompactDatabase "path\database.mdb", "path\compacted_database.mdb"

2. JRO (At least MDAC 2.1 must be installed)

Set Engine = CreateObject("JRO.JetEngine")
Engine.CompactDatabase "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=path\database.mdb", _
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=path\compacted_database.mdb"


Either DAO or JRO does not support compact to the same file name. You must create temporary compacted database and then copy the temporary file over original database.    More detail...
